10 Reasons Why Katy Perry Is Twitter’s First 50 Millionaire

Yahoo Music

February 4, 2014

Over the weekend, Katy Perry became the first celebrity to roar past the 50 million mark. That means that Perry has 50 million followers, or Katycats as she calls them, on the social network. Being the cool kitten she is, Perry took hitting the landmark in stride, tweeting on Saturday:

Oh yeah AND we grew to 50 million Katycats! Eh, regular day at the office. 🙌

2. She's John Mayer's girlfriend. Since Perry is hanging out with her famous beau, you're likely to get double the fun and double the celebrity news about one of pop music's most beloved couples. Mayer has been on a Twitter hiatus, but now he's back in the game, as Perry noted on Jan. 31 when she tweeted:

FOLLOW FRIDAY @JohnMayer whos account has basically been in a coma state for a couple of years. Let's update him on all the cat youtubes he

3. She's just like you and me. Despite the fact that Perry is incredibly hot, incredibly famous and incredibly talented, she's not all that different than common folk -- at least if you judge her by her tweets.

5. She has a sense of humor. While some stars might be offended by ridiculous photoshopped pictures, Perry is not. In fact, when the Twitter account Pharrell's Hat tweeted a pic of Perry and Taylor Swift "wearing" Pharrell's Dudley Doright-style hat on the Grammy red carpet, Perry re-tweeted it to her followers.
